Chapter 95: The Queen
On this day, the ladies and ladies of the family who were invited into the palace were almost all led all the way to Yuyang Palace to greet the queen as soon as they entered the palace gate, and no one dared to delay on the road.
Only Duchess An Guo is different from Mu Hongsheng, the mother and daughter are led by the small inner supervisor, walking all the way, it is really like entering the palace for a tour.
"This palace alley is the residence of the fourth princess, Qionghua Garden," the little inner supervisor explained to Mu Hongsheng in a soft voice: "There are many Qionghua planted in the palace of the fourth princess, and the scenery was good a few days ago, but now it is a little late, and the Qionghua is almost gone." Miss Guogong want to go and see it? ”
"Then I won't go." Mu Hongshang smiled and shook her head: "So as not to disturb the fourth princess." ”
Mu Hongshang decided not to go to Qionghuayuan, but the little inner eunuch didn't invite her to Chongzheng Hall as warmly as before, just smiled and nodded, and then began to introduce the palace layout.
"Near the Qionghua Garden of the Fourth Princess is the Changkang Hall of the Seven Princes," the little inner supervisor smiled and gestured in the same direction: "There are many pines and cypresses planted in the Changkang Palace, and the scenery is not bad." In the future, turn this palace alley to the north, is the Duanning Hall of the Six Princes, and the former residence of the three princesses Yuxiang Garden. ”
"Oh." Mu Hongsheng nodded: "Is the Queen Mother's Yuyang Palace also in this direction?" ”
"Yes." The little inner eunuch nodded with a smile: "Yuyang Palace is in the middle, the residences of several princes and princesses are all around the Yuyang Palace of the queen's mother, the residence of the fourth princess, the seventh prince, and the sixth prince is on the east side of Yuyang Palace, and the Chonghua Hall of the fifth prince is on the east side of Yuyang Palace, not far from Yuyang Palace. The rest of the concubines in the palace lived far away, and most of them were in the palace in the northwest corner. ”
"Oh." Mu Hongsheng nodded, looking like her curiosity had been satisfied.
"Enough inquiry?" Duchess An Guo smiled and looked down at her daughter: "After delaying this half a day, I'm afraid it's too late, we should also go and say hello to the queen." If you haven't shopped enough, wait for the queen to say goodbye, and then your mother will take you out. ”
"Okay." Mu Hongshang nodded very obediently, followed behind Duchess Anguo, and walked all the way in the direction of Yuyang Palace.
Duchess An Guo and Mu Hongshang were the last to arrive at Yuyang Palace, and the invited ladies and ladies of the family in Beijing had already arrived, and the entire Yuyang Palace was full of clothes and sideburns, and it was lively.
When Duchess An Guo appeared with her daughter, the ladies present were a little surprised. Everyone knows that the queen mother held a flower-viewing banquet in order to show the princess to the five princes and the six princes, why did this Duchess of Anguo come with Miss Mu? How old is Miss Mu this year? Twelve? A baker's dozen? Such a young girl came to join in the fun.
Besides, the Mu family has its own rules for choosing a son-in-law or hiring a daughter-in-law, and the royal family has never interfered! Why did Duchess An Guo suddenly appear with her daughter?!
I was a little surprised to see Mu Hongsheng, in addition to the ladies and ladies present, there was also the fifth prince Zheng Ying, who was called by the queen mother to "enjoy the flowers". But he was only slightly stunned, and then quickly glanced at his younger brother Zheng Jin who was sitting next to him.
But for a moment, a hint of realization flashed in Zheng Ying's eyes, and he turned his head calmly, and continued to put on a slightly cold smile, greeting the ladies and ladies who came to ask for peace.
Mu Hongsheng was just like what her mother taught her before, as if she gave a big gift to her grandmother for a red envelope during the New Year, and she kowtowed to the queen mother and asked for peace.
Queen Wei saw that Mu Hongshang seemed to like it very much, and specially called her to her side, took her hand and asked a few words, and finally rewarded Mu Hongshang with a valuable ruby crested hairpin.
This is the first time Mu Hongshang has seen the legendary queen mother. She thinks that the queen is very beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes are gentle, and the six princes are a little like the queen's mother.
"Don't be restrained," Empress Wei patted Mu Hongsheng's hand with a kind face: "The flower viewing banquet in the palace today is very lively, so I specially asked your mother to take you into the palace to play." What you want to eat, what you want to play, and where you want to go shopping, you can tell the minions directly, and when you get to the main palace, it's like being at home in your own home. ”
"Thank you, Queen." Mu Hongshang showed a slightly shy smile to Empress Wei, and Empress Wei also smiled when she saw it, stretched out her well-maintained slender jade hand, and gently patted Mu Hongsheng's ruddy face.
"This child is so cute," Empress Wei said to Duchess An Guo with a smile, "He looks like you, and he is a beautiful child." And sensible and polite, laughing with joy, this palace likes it tightly. My sister will have to take her into the palace more in the future, they are all relatives, so it is good to move around often. ”
Empress Wei called Duchess An Guo "sister", and these words were also affectionate, but Duchess An Guo did not dare to be so rude. She immediately stood up and replied respectfully, "Thank you for your love." ”
"If you say that, you'll be out of sight." Empress Wei smiled and made a gesture to Duchess Anguo: "Sit down, don't stand up and talk back without moving, it's weird and restrained." I haven't seen her for a long time, you are here to chat with me, just go and play with Hongshang, you don't have to worry about her, this palace tells the minions to wait carefully. ”
The queen said so, and the Duchess of Anguo naturally did not disobey, so she had to sit beside the queen. Empress Wei glanced at the palace people beside her, and immediately a big palace maid led several unmarried clan ladies up to ask Duchess An Guo to say goodbye and talk to her.
Duchess An Guo was a little worried about her daughter, and she dealt with a few words absentmindedly, and just wanted to turn her head to find Mu Hongsheng, a palace maid immediately smiled very cleverly and came over and replied: "Madame, don't worry, the eldest lady is well, the slave maid sent Xiao Xizi to take the eldest lady around in Yuyang Palace, this is the first time the eldest lady has entered the palace, she must be curious." There is a mother's arrangement, everything is good, and Mrs. is here to talk to the mother. ”
"Yes," Empress Wei also smiled and said, "It's boring for the little girl to stay here to talk to us, let her go and play by herself." My sister is here, so I can help this palace see which girl is good. There are so many girls, all of them are like flowers, and the palace is dazzled, and it is better to have my sister on the side to help with details. ”
Duchess An Guo naturally knew what the queen meant by leaving her here, and she knew that the group of clan girls in front of her who were flattering her were afraid that they were all coming for the clothes that were going to return to Beijing. It's just that although she didn't think so, she couldn't clearly refuse the queen's arrangement, so she could only sit patiently in Yuyang Palace and greet these clan women politely.
At this time, Mu Hongsheng was still taken by the clever little inner supervisor before, wandering around, but it was very relaxed.
